"Is that supposed to be an insult Phantomhive?" Alois hissed at the younger boy. "Why don't you come and duel me and if I win, you have to take it back!" Alois said, and added inside his head; And if I win, you die! It was no use waiting anyway. Claude didn't seem to want to leave, and it would also be trouble trying getting that Sebastian Michaelis, but if he talked to Phantomhive's pride, he might be better off. "Unless of course you're too much of a chicken" Alois added, just to make sure.

"Tch how dare you say such things to me!"the younger boy stood up slamming his hands on the table glaring at the blond youth before him. "I will take your challenge then!" he said to him. The butler next to him frowned some eyes narrowing at the the boy then bowed. "Bocchan do you think it wise to take such banter from him?" as he tried to talk some senes into his young master before something happened he couldn't fix right away then glare at Claude with the look of you better keep you hands off he is mine I will rip you in two if you dare touch him.

Alois' lips curled into a sadistic smile. "It's this way Phantomhive!" He said as he started walking towards the weapon hall. This was going far better than he had thought, now as long as he won over Phantomhive...
Alois got more and more excited, but on the outside he still kept calm, though his smile was getting bigger by the second.
He then looked at Claude. "And you are not to interfere before I say so!" He ordered. Alois wanted to make sure that noone but himself got Ciel.
"Yes, your highness" Claude obeyed, much against his will, he had a good idea of what his master was up to, and if Alois killed Ciel, there wouldn't be much soul left for neither him nor Sebastian.

Ciel stood up following the other youth to the room where this battle would take place, this was something he would never allow to happen as he let Sebastian's words pass him, in many ways his pride was at stake he would not lose to the floozey that was before him. The red eyed demon growled a little to him self them looked to Claude then to his young master went after them both. He was not going to lose Ciel again for the second time.

Alois took down two swords from the wall, they were actually meant to be dull, but he had had Hannah sharpen them, mostly because he was more certain of her not telling Claude than the triplets. Though it had been much against his will asking the female demon.
He then threw one of the swords to Ciel, and said; "On the count of 10" And turned his back to the younger boy, though still keeping half an eye on him.

Ciel took the sword from the older boy stood back to back with him his eye om him also once the count down started he took a few steps then turned around swung string out to Alois. "AAHHHH!" he screamed.

Alois had half expected Ciel to do something like that, but it still came as somewhat as a surprise; "Hey, play fair!" He hissed, as he blocked the younger boy's attack and pressed him backwards, at least he was at an advantage because he was higher.

Ciel gripped the sword tightly as he looked the other growling. "Fair nothing, as you if would play fair your self." he shot back to the blond youth. Sebastian had a scowl across his face watching what was happening but to make a sudden movement would bring down Ciel's wrath which was something he didn't feel like dealing with as he moved his gaze over to the gold eyed butler. "I would like to ask you to have your young master refrain from harming mine. . . ." he growled.

Claude looked at Sebastian, and commented; "I have orders not to interfere" He shrugged. He was rather anxious though, what was his young master thinking? Could this be why he had been so secretive for a week now? Claude knew there had been something wrong, but he hadn't actually expected this.
Alois smirked, now it was his turn to attack, he aimed for the younger boy's sword arm. "Well I guess I couldn't have expected more from you!" He provoked Ciel.

Ciel felt the blade pass by his arm as he hissed some his eye going wide, letting out a yell in anger he swung his sword then thrust foreword niking Alois in the side. "No, I will not lose to the likes of you!" he yelled not easing up at all against the other. The red eyed butler watched on seeing his young master get a small cut then start to fully attack Alois.

Alois yelled out as his side was hit. He countered the younger boy's furious attacks with all that he had.
But Ciel was still the better swordsman, and Alois knew it, he had to finish this before Ciel got the upper hand. He yelled out again, and aimed directed at Ciel's heart, the boy had to die, Alois would not stand for this anymore, he would make sure Claude would concentrate only on him, even if he had to die for it.

The young earl saw a change in the movement moved out the way as he was about to stab Alois in the side again, but before the movement could be made he was grab around his waist spun around looking up to see who it was, it was none the less his red eyed demon butler who had taken him from his place blacked the sword with a fork. "I feel this is enough. . . . ." he glared at Claude then looked down to Alois. "You will not be harming my young master. . . ." he said to the youth eyes narrowing some.

"No" Alois hissed. "No this is not fair, neither of you were to interfere" His face turned red with anger. But he knew it was no use attacking the demon. He felt the tears pressing at the corner of his eyes, all of his plans, ruined. "Claude... get them out of here" He then ordered. "I don't want to see any of them before my face again" He turned around, he would not sink so deep as to let Ciel see him cry.
Claude glared at his young master, he was somewhat happy that the plans had been ruined. He walked over to Sebastian Michaelis, with a; "Yes, your Highness" Then he looked at the other demon. "I am sure I won't need to force you...?"

"Sebastian let me down! You know you where not to interfere with this!" as he moved about in the demons arm then looked Alois. "Do not write me off as such!" the young earl yelled to the other. The demon blinked not listening to Ciel right off the bat then looked at Claude, "No not at all. . . " as he began to walk away. Ciel figgeted around. "NO! Enough Sebastian I order you to put me down now!" with hear what he was told he place his young master down then ran at Alois with the sword at hand. "It is not over!" he yelled swing the sword and stabbing Alois. "AH Bocchan!" the demon yelled out then ran over to claim him.

Not having expected this, Alois let out a scream, as he fell over. He rolled around so he faced upwards, and grabbed the other boy's foot. "No Ciel! You can't kill me!" He coughed up blood as he cried out. "This is not over yet! I am the one who's supposed to... to kill you... you killed my family!" He was cut off by more coughing. Then he gasped; "Claude, help me!"
The yellow eyed demon was glaring at Ciel Phantomhive, mesmerized, such elegance, such determination, he barely even heard his own master's cries for help.
So it was Hannah Annafelloz who rushed in to lift up the screaming boy, which only made him scream and kick more and scream at her to let him go. But since she was not bound by any contract, she didn't. Instead she started carrying him towards the door, giving both Sebastiand and Claude a nasty look.

Sebastian blinked claiming his young master. "Bocchan we should be going now." Ciel looked back at him said nothing. "What did he mean. . . . ." he said to the demon. "That I killed his family! I did no such thing he was the one who humiliated me and killed my family!" he yelled rushing out of the room to find where Hana had taken the young blond. "I will ask him my self!" he said. The dark haired, red eyed demon frowned went after his young master.

Claude finally came back to earth, and rushed to Alois' room, where he had been taken, and Hannah was in the middle of sewing his wound up.
Somehow, despite his blood-loss, he was still fighting like crazy, and if Hannah hadn't been a demon, she would not have been able to sew the wound up properly.
When she had finally finished; Alois used some of his last strength to sit up, and glaring at them both, he hissed; "Out!"
This was unmistakably an order, and looking at the blond boy, then each other, they hurried out.

Ciel rushed down the hall looking around, his hands shaking he would not allow this to be left like this in away way, he was going to finish off Alois if it was the last thing he was going to do. Stopping down a hall seeing Hanna and Claude leave a room walk away from each other. The smaller boy hid allowing the help to pass by as he walked turned walked down the hall once it was clear. "I will finish this!" he though to him self walking to the door opening it walking in.

Alois had turned his back to the door. "I thought I ordered you to get out!" He shouted. When there was no reaction, he turned his head, his eyes widening with surprise. "You? I thought you'd gone already...!" He said. "Come to see me suffer or what? Or are you so unsportsly that you've come to kill me while I can't do anything to stop it?" He added in a mocking manner, then was interrupted by a cough. He turned his head away again, wishing the other boy... and anyone else for that matter, would just disappear.

"Well I will say one thing, you placed this on your self. You dare blame me for your own hardships and loneliness when I had done nothing." he growled the the boy before him who back was turned to him, knowing to strike someone down like that would cause him in away bad name so he went against the idea of not doing anything to the other for now. "You can not denie it at all that there was something to do with me and your sad little past" he said at the end. "Was it not you who had cause me so much trouble my my own then." as he walked in to the room shutting the door.

Alois fought himself up on one elbow, wincing at the pain that once again shot through his side. "I don't know about what you've heard Phantomhive" He gritted his teeth. "But Claude told me that you ordered Sebastian to kill everyone in my village, including my beloved little brother, and I want revenge for that" He quirked an eyebrow. "Do you dare deny that Phantomhive?" He spat at the younger boy.

"I did no such thing! I don't even know where you are from!" he yelled to the other not liking where this was heading. "I knew nothing of you and nothing of what has happened to you. I was told by Sebastian that you are the one who had ruined my family and past and everything else that has happened to me!"

"Oh trust me, I would have loved to done that as revenge for you killing my brothers... but three years ago... I still..." He looked away. "Know what? Never mind, believe what you want... what do I care anyway..." He clenched his fists and laid down again. "Kill me now if you want to.. isn't that why you came here in the first place?"

"I came here yes for that, but three years my home was burnt down and I was made a fool falling into death." he gritted his teeth looked at the older boy. "What is it that you have to say all of sudden?" trying to hear what the blond would have to say to him such a matter of this while he was in that kind of state.

"It's not really something I want to tell you... oh but you can go ask Claude, he knows, and he likes you more than me anyway..." Alois crossed his arms, he really didn't want to tell the younger boy about the late earl Trancy.
He closed his eyes, if that brat could at least get it over with or leave so he could get some rest.
